Police Handled Burglary Competently

January 16, 1991|The Morning Call

To the Editor:

During Thanksgiving week, while I was visiting my son and his family in Virginia, burglars broke into my home and stole many objects of value. When I returned, I immediately called 911, and within five minutes Officer Robert Lenback and Officer David Ott arrived and competently and politely took control of the situation.

Shortly, Detective Dean C. Schwartz came to fingerprint and Sgt. Barry George of crime prevention suggested better security for my home. A few days after the very efficient work of all these officers, the three burglars were apprehended and the entire case was turned over to Detective Roger Sames.

All of these officers treated me with the utmost courtesy and efficiency. I would like to commend the Allentown Police Department for work well done. Minnie E. Scheirer Allentown
